Established in 1978, Simpson Optometrist provides exceptional eye care to the residents of North Lanarkshire. Book your Free Eye Examination today.

Being an Independent practice means we can spend time with our patients in order to thoroughly examine the health of their eyes, tailoring the perfect optical solution to their needs. We believe that technology helps us to provide exceptional eye care. For over 35 years we have invested in the latest diagnostic equipment and continue to do so today by offering our patients OCT, Ocular Coherence Tomography. Only the highest quality frames, lenses and coatings are used for our spectacles, giving you the best possible vision. We do not import cheap lenses in bulk and we do not use discount brands, as we believe this would compromise our standards and compromise your vision. We don’t try and bamboozle you with offers. We simply help find, fit and produce the right glasses for you. We are so confident you’ll be completely satisfied with your spectacles, we GUARANTEE it!

Your eyes and your ears, Bonfire Night puts both to work.

Fireworks are loud, loud enough to affect your hearing if you're too close for too long. A bit of distance from the display and ear defenders go a long way, especially for little ones, but worth it for adults too. If your ears are ringing afterwards, that's your cue to give them a rest.

Your eyes are working hard too, adjusting between bright bursts of light and dark skies all night. That quick switching can leave eyes feeling tired or strained, so blinking often and looking away between bursts helps them recover as you go.

Enjoy the display, just look after both while you do.

Does your child read a line twice, skip words, or say the letters "move" on the page? Most parents assume it's concentration. Often, it's not.

Visual stress is a processing issue that makes text physically harder to read, even when eyesight tests out fine. It affects how the eyes and brain work together, not how sharp the vision is.

We now offer Visual Stress Assessments for children at Simpson Optometrists, separate from a standard eye test. We look at tracking across a line, how your child copes with contrast, and whether coloured overlays make reading easier.

Half term is a good window to get your child's eyes checked, especially with this being the first one since they went back to school.

Kids don't always know what they should be seeing, so a few signs are worth watching for.

Book your little one an eye test before they start the next term, and make sure they're seeing their best.

Spread the cost of thorough eye care across the year for less than the price of a coffee a week.

For a small monthly fee, your annual eye exam and 3D OCT scanning are covered, the same technology that catches conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration before you'd ever notice symptoms.

Plus you get 25% off glasses and lenses, and 25% off sunglasses, all year round.

Early detection changes outcomes. This is how we make thorough eye care part of your routine, not an optional extra.

World Sight Day is here, and this year's theme is Love Your Eyes. For most people that starts with something small: booking the check you've been putting off.

Sandy and the team see first hand how much a regular check can catch early, often before you'd notice anything yourself. That's the whole point of loving your eyes properly, not just reacting when something feels off.

If it's been a while since your last one, today's a good day to book it in. Online or by phone, whichever's easier.

Available in optical frames and sunglasses, with the same camera, open-ear audio, and voice AI you'd expect, plus over 8 hours of battery life on a single charge.

Pop in and try a pair on, they're honestly worth seeing for yourself.

That's one of the most common complaints we hear, especially as the weather turns colder and the heating goes on.

Dry eye isn't just uncomfortable, it can affect how clearly you see too. Our dry eye assessments look at what's actually causing it, whether that's tear quality, blinking patterns, or your environment, and we'll talk you through a plan that actually helps.

Feeling that first chill in the Scottish air? 🍂 Your eyes can feel it too.

As the colder weather sets in, cold winds and central heating can leave eyes feeling dry, gritty, tired or watery.

If you’re noticing these symptoms, our dry eye services can help identify the cause and find the right solution for you.
